Retro classic sneakers Reebok
Our selection of Reebok brings together sneakers from the British brand, which started in running and has become a reference for retro style: Club C, Classic Leather and archive-inspired models for men, women, and children.
The British classics of the 1980s.
From Bolton to the World
Reebok originated in Bolton, England, in the running shoe factory of Joseph William Foster, at the end of the nineteenth century. His grandsons renamed the company Reebok in 1958, after the name of an African antelope. In the 1980s, the brand enjoyed worldwide success with aerobics and its soft leather sports shoes, before its designs became street classics.

The Classics
The Classic Leather, launched in the early 1980s as a soft leather running shoe, has established itself as a street icon thanks to its simple design and comfort. The Club C, a tennis shoe from the mid-1980s, is minimalist with a small British flag on the side and can be worn with anything from jeans to casual suits. The Freestyle, one of the first sports shoes designed for women, accompanied the rise of aerobics. The brand has also made its mark in basketball with the Pump, featuring an inflatable chamber, and the Question by Allen Iverson.
Wearing and Caring
White leather Reebok sneakers, like the Club C or Classic Leather, can be paired with jeans, chinos, or joggers for a clean retro look. To clean the leather, use a damp cloth and a little mild soap, then nourish it with a clear cream; the white sole can be restored to its shine with a soft brush. Suede models should be brushed dry. Stick to your usual size: classic Reebok styles generally fit true to size. Kids' models mirror adults' silhouettes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does the name Reebok come from?
The name comes from the rhebok, an antelope from Southern Africa. The grandsons of founder Joseph William Foster chose it in 1958 to rename the family business, which started in Bolton, England.
What’s the difference between the Club C and the Classic Leather?
The Club C is a sneaker that originated on the tennis courts, with a low profile and a sleek upper. The Classic Leather, derived from running, has a thicker sole and a soft leather upper, providing the comfort of a running shoe.
Do Reebok sneakers fit large or small?
Most retro models fit true to size: stick with your usual size. If you have wide feet or wear thick socks, going half a size up may be more comfortable for leather models.
How do I clean white Reebok Club C sneakers?
Gently scrub the leather upper with a damp cloth and mild soap, then clean the sole with an old toothbrush. Wash the laces separately and let them air dry, with paper inside to maintain their shape.
Why is Reebok associated with aerobics?
In the early 1980s, the brand launched soft leather shoes designed for women practicing aerobics, which was booming at the time. This success made Reebok one of the most popular sports brands of the decade.
